Durano-Macapagal Boardwalk

It is situated along the National Highway in Barangay Poblacion. It has an area of 13,000 square meters. It is in front of the Danao City Police Station and beside the Durano-Macapagal Fish Port. It is described as one of the nicest place to stroll along the seawall. 

The 24-Million Peso Park was named after the late father of President Gloria Macapagal – Arroyo in recognition of her big contribution to the development of the city. It was also a way of thanking the outgoing president for the numerous projects that her administration has poured into the City of Danao.

Children's Paradise (Playground)

There's a playground called "Children's Paradise" with a misplaced heroic statue of a Filipino guerrilla raising his rifle as he steps on a lifeless body of an enemy, presumably a Spaniard or a Japanese. Why misplaced? Because while we adhere to nationalism, an impressionable child might think that killing a man is heroic. Messages like that have to be contextualized to avoid misinterpretations. There should be signs that explain the statue. After all, this is a playground; children can't just hop on the slides and swings and absolutely disregard the said statue.

STO. TOMAS DE VILLANUEVA CHURCH

Sto. Tomas de Villanueva Church

       The Sto. Tomas de Villanueva Church was built in 1755 and is constructed of cut coral stones which is a common building material for churches near coastal areas during that period. The architecture has hints of Romanesque architecture with a central rose window, faux columns and arched openings. Six white-painted angels guard the exterior of the church. Connected on the right side of the church stands a four-level, eight-sided belfry. It houses three bells named after saints; the San Alipio bell, the Villanueva bell and the Sagrado Corazon bell. The tower is pierced by small rounded openings, two semicircular and a rectangular window. (Lakad Pilipinas)
